No red, white and boom

Oh No, no red, white and boom in Columbus for July 4th celebration - the 1st time in 40 years. We are lost, lost as a state, country, world when this pandemic panic has destroyed reason and common sense.  Lost the concept of risk, lost the acceptance of risk, lost the courage to live. A concomitant tragedy is the worst job report in US history with the unemployment rate at 16% and climbing. What is to be done? Nothing, when ads on the radio lie about 2 times the coverage at less than 1/2 the cost prevail. Select Quote is just one example. When I know we're lost, how can I be optimistic?  You tell me.
